WE OF THE MOUNDBUILDER staff wish to dedi

cate the 1951 Moundbuilder to our President, ALVIN

W. MURRAY. Dr. Murray with his far-sightedness,

his eloquence, his determination and his Building Pro

gram has lead us through one of the greatest crises in

the history of Southwestern College. We salute you,

President Murray, in your struggle for a Greater

Southwestern.

DR. ALVIN W. MURRAY

President, Southwestern College

C HANGES IN OUR SOUTHWESTERN COLLEGE campus have been many this 1950-51 school year. September saw the final razing of old North Hall and the excavation for two new buildings. November saw cornerstones laid for Moss

man Hall of Science and Memorial Library in a single ceremony. January saw the let

ting of contracts for a new Richardson ~all. May sees the science hall nearing com

pletion, the library steadily going up; and hears the gangs of men at work at the top of

the "77" steps. Next September? Our dream campus will be even nearer a reality.

The date of April 16, 1950, is defini tely linked with the present. Without it

and the fire that destroyed Richardson Hall, we would not have run all over the cam

pus to attend classes. Our chapel and assembly would have been held in the gymnasium.

We wouldn't have seen our plays in Music Hall. Yet these inconveniences we have

endured will soon be gone.

We look forward to the new Southwestern. We will look back on the old school

with nostalgic hearts. But always-Southwesten College is looking to the future.

These scenes exemplify the Moundbuilder spirit of:

Learning to live together. Charging ahead

Critically evaluating knowledge

Reaching always u.pward

DEAN WILLIAM (BILL) MONYPENY

To Dean Monypeny, sincere and loyal Southwesterner, friend and advisor of the students, we say "Keep up the good work!"

MRS. MILDRED SKINNER, Counselor of Women, clothing teacher, and "Complaint Bureau" all rolled into one, is a very capable person. Her office is usually packed with students, housemothers, arid others seeking help. We salute Mrs. Skinner with her understanding, her patience, and her neverfailing aid in time of need.

WILLIAM CLOUD, B}ll to most of us, is in his first year as Counselor of Men. We sincerely hope that he hasn't gotten discouraged and will be back in this position again next year. A Southwestern graduate, Bill shows that he has "what it takes" so we say "Good Luck, Bill, and power to you!"

Always friendly, always smiling, encouraging the students to come to them for help--these phrases characterize the attitude that the Southwestern faculty members take in relationship to their students. Southwestern didn't get its reputation for good will and friendliness from the student body alone. Every teacher in the entire college has the admiration and respect of the students for this very reason .

On our campus, every faculty member is a friend

of the students. We see none of the remembering students

by a number rather than by name that is so customary

in other colleges. Southwestern students have the op

portunity to learn from the best instructors in every

field and to learn the good times and comradeship that'

can be shared by faculty and students alike_

These men pictured below opera te hoth behind and in front of the scenes. Without the admin

istrative paper work and th e decisions necessary in the offi ces of the Dean and the Registrar,

life at Southweste rn College would not flow so smoothly.

As the Sophomores returned to Southwestern after their first year away from home, they had the feeling that this wasn't quite so new to them as it had been before. They now saw old familiar faces, the same surroundings, new freshmen (at whom they could now tOlerantly and pi tyingly gaze), and heard announcements of the traditional Big and Little Sister Tea, Ghost Walk, S.C.A. Hike and other get-acquainted activities.

Yes, these were the very things which had helped them to become so well adjusted to collee life last year. Now they were in there helping as if they had

done that very thing all of their natural lives. That is

the Builder Spirit. In one short year, this spirit was in

stilled intO those green freshmen and they came back

seasoned sophomores.

Some of the more outstanding sophomores who

gained positions on the student council were Neil Frank,

Velma Becker, Wanda Kirkhart , Vela Langhofer, Harold

Adams, Dean Morgan and Bill Cobb.

Ward Akers, holding the torch, and the Reverend Robert A. Haines, Director of Camp

Horizon, the speaker for the Building of the Mound Ceremony.

The Building of the Mound ceremony is a practice that stands out as being unique among colleges. Since Southwesterners are the Moundbuilders, no other college j:an claim the right to "build mounds."

I I

The term "Moundbuilder" originated in 1910 and has since clung to Southwestern, although "Cliffdwellers" ran a close second. The Building of the Mound as an official ceremony started in the fall of 1927 and each year Southwestern students and faculty each build a stone into the ~ound. The Mound, with each year's addition of stones is a symbol of a growing Southwestern.

Consecrating a part of their life to Southwestern.

With the burning of Richardson Hall and the razing of

North Hall, Southwestern College was left with virtually

no classroom space. However, with rapid and ingenious

p'ianning, classes were resumed and life on the campus went

on much the same as before. Then came the dawn of a new

day and a new campus. A campus such as is dreamed of by

college presidents, but rarely becomes a reality. This year

will be remembered by the students of Southwestern as the

year of looking ahead, planning and working for the future

President Murray lays the cornerstone for Mossman Memorial Hall of Science.

of Southwestern. Next fall, the Science Hall will be ready

to use and the Library will be nearing completion. Richard

son Hall is on its way to becoming orie of the most modern

administrative buildings on a campus in Kansas. Yes, our

dream campus is becoming a reality and, although many of

us will not be here to enjoy the increased pleasures it will af

ford, we will be proud to say that we attended Southwestern

College, the college with a real future.

Officially 50 % completed. A dream realized!

Every Thursday night in the Student Union, East

Room, the Student Council meets to discuss and re

discuss matters pertaining to student activities, stu

dent-faculty relations and school problems in general.

This organization is composed of four representatives

and two alternates from each class. It acts as a

bridge between student body and administra tion and

keeps the rela tions smooth between the two.

The Student Council sponsors most student activities including student elections, school parties and dances, school holidays, student assemblies, pep ral

lies and the awarding of honors. This year's Student Council functioned very well under the able leader

ship of Keith Dillman, Student Body President; Dave

Warren, Vice-President and assembly chairman; and Beverly Byers and Marilyn Powers, secretaries for

first and second semesters respectively .

Students chosen by Who's Who to appear in the annual publication "Who's Who in American .Universities" are selected on their character, scholarship, participation in school activities and possible success in their field after leaving school.

This IS a very great honor and those chosen for the school year of 1950-51 are Shirley McGuire, Ravera Rolf, Mary Rethorst, Ward Akers, Don Faust, and Keith Dillman.

The SCA is one of the biggest and most active organizations on the campus. It is especially "on the job"

during the first week of school when "Get Acquainted" events are sponsored for the incoming freshman class. The Big and Little Sister tea, the all-school sing

on the "77", the stag for men, the hike for women,

the big watermelon feed and the free show all hold

a place in the memory of every student at Southwenern.

In the hurry and bustle of college life, our

Religious Emphasis Week, sponsored by the SCA, is a very inspiring time. This year's week with the theme

of "Certainties for Today" was particularly impres

sive. The speaker, Dr. George C. Baker, is Chaplain

at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas. At Dorm Councils, in classes, and in meetings with var

ious clubs, Dr. Baker provided "food for thought" for all the studen ts.

The college band under the direction of Creston S. Klingman is one of the more popular organizations of the college. On. the campus and during its annual fall tour the band is an outstanding example of Southwestern's pep and Builder spirit.

The past year has been a most excIting and unpredictable time for Campus Players, Southwestern College honorary dramatic organization. The total loss of equipment in the Richardson Hall fire forced the group, under ehe direc

tion of Miss Helen Graham, to turn to the new and somewhat controversial medium of arena staging.

Happily, the first trial proved successful and the 1950 spring production, "Two Blind Mice" by Samuel Spewack, proved to be one of the most popular plays presented here in recent years. The .group continued the experiment in the fall by center staging the recent Broadway success "Goodbye, My Fancy", by Fay Kanin, as their Homecoming production.

Besides the two large productions in the fall and spring, the Campus Players also present the traditional Christ

mas Morality play, which is original with Southwestern College and of unknown origin. Also, High School Day features two one-act plays. This year, these productions were entitled. "The Wonder Hat" and "A Matter of Husband."

Full members of Campus Players are Helen Dewell, Barbara Stuber, Ken Thomas, Vernie Langhofer, Harold T retbar and Beverly Byers. Probationary members are Marilyn Daly Carr, Marjorie Wright, and Luther Kiser. All

productions are under the direction of Miss Helen Graham.

"\'\fhere is the Moundbuilder Room?" comes the troubled

tone of students who are being led into the inner

chambers of the library. Back in the recesses below the

stage, if one has the exploratory spirit, the Mound-

builder Room may be found. Once inside this stone and

plas ter structure which we of the staff call home, the

light from the one window seems hardly adequate to

light the entire room. Perhaps this explains the crouch

ing position of the editor as she busily types copy. No,

it isn ' t a walk-in refrigerator; it's just that the small

stove doesn't generate much heat.

I t is the opinion of some certain photographers

around S. C. that when they reach the pearly gates, they

will be met with the question "Do you have some pic

tures for the yearbook?" In spite of wartime shortages

of film, flashbulbs, and paper, we finally m anaged to

win the battle. Without the toil of many sleepless nights,

this record of a year at Southwestern would not be poss

ible. By doing Jujitsu tricks with a budget, being

chained to a typewriter, and through the loyalty and

hard work of the photographers, we are bringing you

the 1951 Moundbuilder.

Since their ongln In 1928, the black and white figures of the K.K.'s have become a familiar sight on the Southwestern campus. This year's activities of the K.K.'s included an assembly program, the annual paddle dance and other dances, the cream can basketball game with

the Jinx Jane's Pep Club, the sponsoring of Virginia Brace for Moundbuilder Queen, the entertaining of former members of the club at a dinner following the

Homecoming game, the annual election breakfast, and the camera picnic.

a tI Pi Ep personifies pep. At games, assemblies, and around

8' ,c; school in general, the Pi Eps are easily distinguished by

their black sweaters with white trim and black andin ib white emblems. Noted for creative talent, they pre.." sented one of the most entertaining assemblies of the t year with their "Sunset Boulevard" satire 1

rf One of the most outstanding events of the year ".. for the Pi Eps was when their candidate for Mound"

"Kappa Rho, Kappa Rho, Yes, Yes Yes!!!" Although

this "yell" was heard by Kappa Rho fans at the Milk

Bucket game, it is the sentiment of the entire college

when voicing its opinion about this popular group of

fell as. Anyone can tell a Kappa Rho by his white sweater

with the purple and white KP emblem and by his un

mistakable "swagger."

Kappa Rho, organized In 1937, is one of the lead

ing organizations on the campus when it comes to pep,

school spirit and friendly rivalry. It supplies South

western with one very entertaInIng assembly per year

and several school dances. Besides all this Kappa Rho

won the coveted milk bucket in a victory over the

favored Pi Eps.

Officers for the first semester were Jim Seely, Pres

ident; Bob Dvorak, Vice-President; Louis Kovach, Sec

retary-Treasurer; Ronnie Fukaya, Sergeant-at-Arms.

Second semester Bob Dvorak took over as President, as

sisted by Kenny Miller, Vice-President; Eddie Kiley,

Secretary-Treasurer; and Harold Soong, Sergeant-at

Arms. Mr. Edwards is the sponsor.

The paddle line, the le tter-jackets, the toughest initia

tion on the hill are all characteristic of the "Pi-Sigs."

When a Pi-Sig proudly wears his jacket or sweater with the purple "S", it signifies that he has not only lettered

in a college sport, but has passed the rigorous initiation imposed upon him by old members.

In 1923 the need for an active and compact organ

ization among Southwestern athletes was recognized

and the former "S" Club became the honorary fra-

ternity, Pi Sigma Phi. The objectives of this organiza

are to promote the highest standards of morals and

sc holarship among athletes, to maintain the code of

sportsmanship always characterizing Builder teams and

to preserve the place of athletics at Southwestern College.

President Bill Davis, V ice-President Al Cassing

Pi-Sigs to another successful and profitable year.

Southwestern fielded a scrapping Moundbuilder football team for the

1950 fall campaign that battled each opponent until the final gun.

In the tough central conference, the Builders failed to notch a

victory but earned two ties while losing three. In non-league competi

tion, however, the Purple chalked up three impressive wins and lost only

one game.

Emporia State, conference champions, defeated second-place

Pittsburg State, 46-0 , for the title after S.c. had bowed to the Emporia

eleven in a thriller, 14-7 . The Builders tied third-place Washburn 14-14

and ended the season with a hard -fought 13-7 win over the "B" team

from the University of Missouri. '

All in all, it was a successful season for Coach Harold Hunt's

charges who were no pushovers for anyone. Though they finished low

in the conference standings, the S. C. eleven gave every team in the con

ference a battle. So we say "Three Cheers for the football team." We're

right behind you, fellows.

Homecoming is an annual time of celebration, retur n of old grads. football games, and queens. Homecoming Q ueen for the 1950 foot ball season was Mi s Martha Bridge. Attractive "Marty" is a Winf ield girl and was chosen by the Pi Sigma Phi athle tic fra ternity. This custom of choosing a college junior for queen has become a tradition at Southwestern . Pictured with Q ueen Martha are her attendants: Miss Barbara Smith, Mrs. Marilyn Jones, and Miss Shirley McGuire.

SHIRLEY McGUIRE

The Moundbuilder Queen campaign, sponsored annually by the Mound builder, is one of the most spirited campaigns in which students participate. The queen is chosen from the ranks of the freshman and sophomore classes. The Moundbuilder Queen for 1951 was Mildred Murphy, a sophomore from Mt. Hope, Kansas. The two runners-up were Pat Troyer and Rey Valencia. Other participants in the campaign were Virginia Brace, Joan Redfield, Dorothy McCoy and Carolyn Combs. Queen Mildred re igned over the coronation assembly on March 17 and over a formal ball that night. The organization which sponsored Miss Murphy was Pi Epsilon Pi, a boys' pep club.

The annual Milk Bucket basketball game, a classic at Southwestern since inaugurated in 1948, is now complete with a queen. The Milk Bucket queen for 1951 is Marilyn Williams Jones. Since the game is sponsored by the two boys pep clubs, Pi Ep and Kappa Rho, these clubs elected the queen and her attendants.
